Question 7

A microbiology lab technician is preparing to culture a bacterial specimen that is suspected to be an obligate anaerobe. What specific condition is essential for the successful growth of this type of microorganism?

Accepted Answer

B. Absence of oxygen — Obligate anaerobes are microorganisms that cannot grow in the presence of oxygen and may even be harmed by it.

Room temperature incubation is a general condition and not specific to the oxygen requirement of anaerobes.
